Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

That sucks...I hope you didn't miss the playoff. It would be nice if there is a pop-up asking "Are you sure you want to sim to next key game".

I wish they'd stop taking away Key Games on the schedule if a guy gets hurt. I've been forced to sim 2 weeks before because the Key Game, that was only 2 games away, disappeared after I got there because Chris Bosh can't stay healthy. At least stop the sim at the Key Game that was originally on the schedule.

I'd really wish they'd just let me sim to whatever game I want to play and play it, but if they're going to stick with only "play next/key game" then they need to add in more Key Games and stop them from disappearing.

... I'd really wish they'd just let me sim to whatever game I want to play and play it, but if they're going to stick with only "play next/key game" then they need to add in more Key Games and stop them from disappearing.

The evolution of the "Key Game" is essential for future growth. I'd try to include the following in future builds:

1: Historical Based Key Games -These are the Laker v Celtic types of games.

2: Positional Based Key Games - These are the "featured" match-ups. Whenever two top-10 positional players match up via rotation these should be scheduled. Injuries should not derail these as stated above.

3: Record Based Key Games - These are based on standings. If two teams are battling for the 8th seed in their conference, a Key game should be scheduled. If a team (like my hapless Raptors) is a spoiler team and has a chance to effect the positioning of a seeded team, that game should be a Key Game.

4: Play-Off/Final Based Key Games - All play-off games should be Key games. Who knows if the Glove can limit Jordan to 23 points in game 4 or game 5? These games are what basketball memories are made of.

I know many people would moan that this would result in too many key games and that they don't have time to play them, etc; to address this, I'd make each category an enabled/disabled option of MyCareer ... if you don't care about historic rivalries and don't want to always play in Celtic games, then you can disable that category.

This is how I'd approach the refinement of the Key Game concept.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Started a 6'10" Athletic PF in the mold of Blake Griffin. Somehow scratched out a double-double and an A+ grade in the Rookie Showcase and was interviewed by the Kings/Raptors/Pistons. Didn't want to play for the Kings because I'm a T-Rob fan and didn't want to move him to the bench. Didn't want to play for the Pistons because I did a PG MyCareer on their team. Didn't want to play in Canada, so I told the Raptors to go elsewhere. Ended up falling in the draft to the Hawks at 23. Perfect spot, as they don't have a PF (Josh Smith is at SF).

I had a TON of VC saved up from my previous PG MyCareer, so I moved dunk/standing dunk up to 90s and maxed out my rebounds to 99 overall. Also got my vertical to 90. I can't shoot outside about 3 feet, but its still fun.

I started after about 5 or so games and now I'm close to averaging a double double as a 77 overall. I still can only dunk basically, but I've managed to up a lot of other defensive stuff. Just want to enjoy dunking on people and grabbing boards right now.

My team is doing ok, we're around .500, but I absolutely hate playing with Devin Harris. He's a ball hog and never passes to me. I love playing with Jeff Teague, but he's only getting 18 minutes a game for some reason. We have a great frontcourt, however, with myself, Horford and Josh Smith and we dominate the glass nearly every game. Should be a fun career, as most of the guys on the team are very young. I'm excited.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

When you run plays and you're supposed to screen someone the play just resets and we play freelance when you try to commit the screen.

Is there a way for the play not to breakdown when you try and set a screen in a play?

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Ended up beating LAL 114-106 and i was able to force 4 TO on kobe and hold him to 21 pts( he fouled out with justover 5 minsleft giving the lakers no closers.) I ended with 8pts 7 rebs 9asts 5stl but i'm still struggling to make shots only shooting 31% from the field.

Unfortunately no there isn't. I sent an email to the devs about this very problem a few weeks after release, but it wasn't fixed in the patch. I just don't understand how something that huge and important could make it past testing to be honest...

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

LOL with 1.8 seconds left in the 3rd quarter, Paul Pierce had the ball on the inbounce and he threw it along the ground to try and waste time on the clock for Rondo to get an easier shot but I just sprinted through past Rondo, picked up the ball and dunked it right in his face with 0.3 seconds left.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

I'm in the second round of the playoffs vs the Lakers, in game 4 today we were tied with a few seconds to go, I tried to create space but wasn't able to get anything and accidentally faded from behind the backboard. It clanked off the rim, but Ryan Anderson caught it and put it back in without ever touching the ground at the buzzer! That was so awesome.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Have you guys ever had that game were 2k just wants you to lose? I just had that game against the Knicks. I usually just score about 25 points a game but this game I had to score 60 for us to be even be able to compete. they were hitting everything. in the last minute of the game Paul George missed two, I repeat TWO dunks which resulted in them scoring. I hit two big threes to tie up the game with 4 seconds left. I think it's going to overtime until Carmelo hits what is a definition of shot clock cheese to win the game.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

We (Hornets) are ahead against the Bucks by 20 points and 2 mins left in the 4th quarter.
I had 31 points, 11 assists, 4 rebs and 2 turnovers... I grab another def rebound, try to go coast to coast but I lost the ball while dribbling and then my coach said "No no no , thats not how we are doing it here. Sit on the bench", and he subs me out! When the game ends I go to rotation and I see that I am a sixth man!! What can I do? Should I talk to GM that I don't get enough minutes? Will it work or will it make it worse?

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Key game against the Lakers, was a close 2 point game until the 4th quarter.

With 6:00 to go I messed up and was behind 10 points. Nash is really the biggest cheeser ever, Kobe and Dwight all good but Nash scores when he has 3 defenders on him, ridiculous.


So I cheese my way back into the game, 1 point lead. Lakers get an open 3 and I'm behind again. I eventually lose by 4 points.



I scored 68 points, 1 less than my record 69 and I had 9 assists. Can it be anymore realistic? I wish I'd just average 30 points per game like Kevin Durant and with an outburst of 40-50 once in a while.


My stats are 40 ppg - 8.8 apg - 4.4 rbg.



I always try to feed Batum but he only shoots wide open 3's or occasionally he goes to the rim to dunk, which he doesn't do often enough. Wesley Matthews goes to the rim all the time when I feed him but he barely plays because I'm the starting SG.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Hehe so we take a 3 point lead I get the ball out of James hardens hand and he gives it to lin 21 secs on the clock lin makes a 3 in Williams face and we go to ot... so I'm like are you fking kidding me, so I decide to cheese back, with the closer sig skill any leaner or pullup jumper is an A+ rating so I start taking pullup 3s leaning 3s. Kept it going for a couple to give us a good lead, then they hit 3 so I'm like Fk it another pullup 3 for you Cpu loo. Ended with 69 pts 6 rebs 9 asts
Oh yeah 17-25 from behind the line. Its great when someone with dimer passes you the ball because the shot rating goes up

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

So let me get this straight. A guy tears his ACL or MCL he's out for the season. A guy breaks his back and he's only out 4-6 weeks.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

Injury types have never matched duration in terms of realism. I just go by duration alone as an indicator of severity.

I just had a frustrating game tonight. I almost had a triple double; we won, I got PotG and the crowd was rocking with the MVP chants.

The frustration enters when, because I had fumble-fingers on one sequence and did a Bynum (shooting a way -out 3) instead of passing, the Coach docks me 10 minutes in the rotation and puts me in at the 6th man. Due to this I most likely will need to work my way back into the starter position, missing the darn Lakers; the Lakers are the one team I really love playing.

I understand the concept 2k was trying to get at with this; the implementation of it is lacking though ... the context in which a bone-head move is done should be a heavy factor in the consequences - not the fact that a bone head move was done by itself.

Getting Player of the Game should be an automatic nulifier as an example.

Re: Official NBA 2K13 MyCareer thread

How the f*** can I grab a f-ing rebound in that game, especially offensive one?!
*** **** it, it's like playing Volleyball 2k13, my player keeps tapping the ball!
I'm well placed, taller than everybody else (7'2), I have a bit of jump, good rebounds attributs and my player just doesn't f-ing want to grab it

In my last game, I think I tapped 8 or 9 offensive rebounds.

THe problem is the game is not well balanced. So they added some fake sh!t so you're stats or realistic. If I'd grab the rebounds I should grab, I'd be at 6-7 OR a game 2k probably thinks it's not realistic so they prefer tohave Deron Williams or Lillard taking it over me (yeah, like that is realistic...)

I'm ok with not having all the rebounds, I'm ok with some "tapping" sometimes. But it gets just ridiculous. I'm starting not to even think about going for the OR because I already know how it will end.

I don't even talk about defensive rebounds, my plaer is dumb and a ghost. The ball just passes through him to fall into anybody's hands.
